In late-1944 Slovakia, a farmer-turned-messenger threads forests and caves to feed the hidden—and finds that small acts can defy a war.
Marek Horvath never asked to be a hero. After inheriting his family’s farm, war recasts his purpose: deliver bread, jerky, and sweets to those forced into hiding while Nazi patrols scour the countryside.
Guided by prayer and practical kindness, Marek crosses soggy fields and monolithic forests, navigating caves, ravines, and night storms to reach families—like a tailor and his son, a farmer’s daughter, and others who cling to life in the shadows. He calls himself a posol (messenger); what he carries, beyond food, is dignity and resolve.
